Was it: He was too heavy?
Use a proportion.
Let A = water used in household A.
Let B = water used in household B.
A to B = 13 to 5
A = 260 gal
260 to B = 13 to 5
260/B = 13/5
13B = 5 * 260
B = 100
A + B = 260 + 100 = 360
The total is 360 gallons.
The process here is finding out the smallest number's % towards the largest number.
Divide 20 by 52:
20/52 = 0.38 (estimated) | This is the % in decimal form, which is 38%.
Conclusion: 20 is 38% of 52.

Finding the Smallest Number:
What number is 25% of 60?
Multiply 60 by the decimal form of 25%.
60 * 0.25 = 15 | 15 is 25% of 60.
Finding the Percentage. (Like what we already did.)
30 is what percent of 150?
Divide 30 by 150.
30/150 = 0.2 | 30 is 20% of 150.
Finding the Largest Number.
12 is 30% of what number?
Divide 12 by the decimal form of 30%.
12/0.3 = 40 | 12 is 30% of 40.
I hope this helps, have a great rest of your day! ^ ^

It seems that the y-intercept is 1, so you will be adding 1 to the equation. When you make a chart, you find that each number grows by 1 as well.
From this information, you will find that the answer is
y = x + 1
